RackSwitch



RackSwitch products from BLADE take a breakthrough approach that is becoming known as “Rackonomics” to reduce the total cost of ownership of data center infrastructures, overcome network overload and enable scale-out data center economies.

For the first time, data center architects can standardize on a unified and affordable rack-level, or top of rack, network infrastructure to provision and scale out Web 2.0 environments, high-performance clusters and virtualized data centers.
